It's all about the base

I had a lovely day of stitching on Sunday and I was able to get a fair bit done on Cornwall Cottage. The bottom of it is pretty much finished accept for the border, which I'll be working on next Sunday. I got a start on the new section of it but I didn't get it done as I was starting to make mistakes and when that starts happening my stitching day is pretty much over.

I settled in and watched a few girl movies. Which is the best way to stitch on a Sunday. Hubby was out with my brother working on something/somewhere...so I pretty much had the day to myself....so mom and I sat and watched "Under the Tuscan Sun" "You've Got Mail" and then "The Devil Wear's Prada" Next Sunday I think we'll pick some newer ones, but it felt like this past Sunday was good from some older favorites.

I've got a little happy dance to share as well. This project actually pissed me off a bit, truth be told! I love it, but honestly started this before Valentine's day, for a V-day finish. But it surprisingly was very very time consuming! It just seemed that I would sit and stitch for an hour and I wouldn't have gotten very far with it, but now that it's done, I'm pleased. The fabric sparkles but you can't tell from the picture.

Such a nice little Valentine's finsih. Yes, sometimes I'm surprised as well, how long a small design can take before it's finished. This little heart has a lot of solid stitching which always takes some time.Very nice progress on your SAL piece.
